Hi I can't find anything that can help me can I ask if anyone knows the anwser the question is - my daughter is receiving dla but has turned 16 and done her pip claim which she has been accepted for her dla was usually oaid on a Tuesday and pip on a Thursday so will my daughter's pip payment days remain the same as the dla was every 4 weeks or will the pip day change to the Thursday but continue from the 4 weeks onwards meaning the dla would cut of 2 days earlier then pip be paid on the Thursday. I'm sorry it sounds gobbledygook  but I'd be grateful for any answers 🙏

Hi,

PIP is paid every 4 weeks like DLA was. In your comment you said the PIP was going to be paid on a Thursday so the payment day has changed. First PIP payment is usually about 7 weeks after the decision was made.

There should be one more payment of DLA and then PIP will start a few weeks later. The decision letter should tell you when you will receive the first PIP payment.
